Chapter 598: Tracing the Ten Thousand Jade Tower
Wan Yulou raised his head and glanced at Fang Xuanling cautiously, and then looked at Dugu Huai'en who was standing on the side with a knife and more than a dozen soldiers of the King of Qin, he swallowed and spat with difficulty, and asked in a humble and flattering tone: "Lord Fang...... Why lowly office? ”
Fang Xuanling originally had no interest in a little person like Wan Yulou, and even had some disgust, but since His Royal Highness King Qin said that Wan Yulou was okay, it showed that this person still had merit. So Fang Xuanling rarely didn't brush his sleeves away, but looked at Wan Yulou's big round face that was as chubby as a white-faced steamed bun that had just come out of the pot, and said very seriously: "Your Highness said it was you, it was you...... What, what's the difficulty? ”
Wan Yulou smiled wryly and said: "His Royal Highness said that it is a humble position, is it still useful to be embarrassed by a humble position?" ”
"Then you go as soon as possible, Mo Li has already fled for at least an hour, if you hurry up, you know better than I know how far you can run out in an hour, so your movements are slower, Mo Li is farther away, if you think you can catch up with him, then I didn't say." But if you're deliberately delaying time......"
Fang Xuanling paused for a moment and said, "Do you really think that if you also take the opportunity to escape, then no one in the army will be able to catch you?" I don't mind if you have this idea, you can totally try it too. ”
Wan Yulou shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I haven't lived enough for my humble position, and my humble position is still a lazy and lazy person, I like wine and food, if I really run away like this, even if no one can catch my humble position, I am afraid that I will have to spend the rest of my life in a deep mountain and old forest in the future, and rely on my left sister and right sister to solve the problem." There is nothing more painful in life than this...... Although he is a small person, he also thinks that one day he will be able to return to his hometown? ”
Fang Xuanling is an upright person, so he doesn't know what a left sister and a right sister are, but he understands what Wan Yulou means, so he smiled and said, "When has Your Highness ever treated a meritorious servant?" If you want to return to your hometown, it is extremely simple, as long as you catch up with Mo Li and kill him, then what you want can naturally be realized. Although I am not a big man under the account of King Qin, I am still somewhat sure of ensuring that you are a good five-grade general. Is it enough? ”
Wan Yulou nodded with a flattering smile: "Enough, there has not been a five-grade general in the countryside for three hundred years." ”
"Then go ahead, the people you want are in the Qin King's personal guards, and the army can be selected at will."
"Three hundred cavalry!"
Wan Yulou stretched out three fingers and shook them, "I know that guy's skills best, I need at least three hundred elite horsemen to surround and kill him." ”
"Whatever you want!"
Fang Xuanling nodded and turned around and left, he really didn't have the patience to talk about such a philistine little person. Being able to talk so much to Wan Yulou, bargaining like buying vegetables in the vegetable market has already made Fang Xuanling feel a little humiliated. But when he thought that this annoying fat man would not live long, he thought with some pity whether he could agree to some or some to agree.
Wan Yulou looked at Fang Xuanling's distant back, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He muttered, "King Qin will never treat meritorious people badly...... So what is Li Jing? ”
Although he thought so, he had no way to resist King Qin's order, unless he wanted to die now, he was sure that as long as he refused, the knife in Dugu Huaien's hand would immediately cut down without hesitation. If Dugu Huaien really pulled out the knife, wouldn't he lose face by kneeling and begging again? The tens of thousands of horses in the entire battalion almost all know that Wan Yulou's martial arts are definitely the worst, and the one with the least courage.
He received the order but did not immediately select men and horses, but first went to the baggage camp to find the lieutenant of the baggage battalion, and then swore that he was ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Qin to go on a business trip, and the King of Qin specially rewarded him with the strongest armor. Governor Liu Hui naturally wouldn't believe him easily, and sent someone to ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin. After hearing this, Li Shimin just smiled and nodded in agreement, and then said to Fang Xuanling: "Do you know a little bit about this person's greed for life and fear of death?" Lone bet he would never take just one piece of armor. ”
In fact, Wan Yulou will indeed never leave with just one set of armor.
He first put on a large set of refined chain mail, and then put on the three fattest layers of leather armor on the outside. After that, he received two horizontal knives, a horse lance, two fast horses, a crossbow, a hard bow, and feather arrows filled with two quivers in the baggage camp, and took advantage of Liu Hui's inattention to steal a pot of old wine and two legs of mutton.
Liu Hui couldn't believe his eyes, how did this crumbling-looking fat man stride out. He stared with wide eyes, as if he were looking at a monster that did not belong to the human world. Wan Yulou is naturally not a monster, at most he is a freak.
He walked breathlessly, muttering as he went, "...... It's too tight, the grandsons of the martial arts workshop, the Jingyi workshop, and the Cheng Workshop who make leather armor, don't they know that there are burly and fierce people like Lao Tzu in the Tang Army? The leather armor is so fucking small, are you planning to strangle me......"
The three hundred cavalrymen who followed him looked at each other, and said in their hearts, What is this guy sent by His Royal Highness King Qin for? Everyone has a faint sense of foreboding in their hearts, and in their opinion, it is a little unreliable to follow this fat man to do things. A cavalryman whispered to his comrades, "What is this guy best at?" ”
The cavalry beside him looked at Wan Yulou's back and lowered his voice and said, "Escape"
The inquiring cavalry nodded and said, "Now I understand why Lord Fang Xuanling asked us to keep an eye on him and never allowed him to leave the range of the repeater...... But ......"
The cavalryman sighed with emotion: "Lao Tzu's crossbow is only afraid that it won't hurt him, how many pieces of leather armor does that grandson have?" ”
……
……
Wan Yulou half-knelt on the ground with great difficulty, looked at the direction of the broken grass, looked at the depth of the horse's hoof mark, and frowned slightly, not sure how long the war horse that left traces had passed, so he lay on the ground in pain, sniffed the ground with his nose, and then tried to stand up even more painfully, but tried several times but failed. The two cavalrymen of the Split Tiger Battalion dismounted and helped him up, Wan Yulou looked at them gratefully and smiled: "Thank you...... Our three major workshops in Datang are becoming more and more disagreeable, and the leather armor made is cutting corners, which is too ...... Too skinny. ”
The two cavalrymen looked at each other, and said in their hearts that the weapons and armor of the three major workshops of Tang martial arts, fine arts, and Chenggong have always been extremely standard, even if the officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are strict, they are afraid that they will not be able to find any fault. And the shameless fat man in front of him can ignore his own fat body, can he ignore the other leather armor on his body? If someone asked two ordinary soldiers at the same time the same question as this fat man, then his answer was definitely the most speechless.
Suppose asking, "What is under your leather armor?" ”
Someone else replied: "The number of clothes"
The fat man replied: "Leather armor"
"And what about inside?"
"Gone"
"Leather Armor"
"And down there?"
"Still leather armor"
If the person questioning loses interest, then this shameless fat man will proudly tell him: "If you ask again, the answer will definitely be different, and it is definitely not leather armor, but chain mail!" "You must know that there is a difference between chain mail, finely woven small ring chain mail can be worn close to the body, but wearing the large ring chain mail inside is equivalent to wearing a coat in underwear, don't ask if the underwear is uncomfortable or not, isn't he panicking?
Wan Yulou smiled, pointed to the front and said, "Due west, that guy hasn't gone far at all when he is going in circles." It's a guy who knows a little bit about how to escape, and he knows how to hide for a while and wait for the men and horses chasing him to pass before leaving. If you can't find him, the cavalry who searched before will think that he has fled quickly, but in fact, he didn't leave at all, but waited for the cavalry to pass before leaving. ”
The two cavalrymen who helped him up suddenly had a great impression of the fat man, and from a few hoof prints, a few pieces of broken dead grass, and the almost unpleasant smell left of this guy, he was so sure that he did have some ability.
Wan Yulou climbed onto the horse's back with great difficulty, and then pointed to the front and said loudly: "Speed up and chase forward, Mo is not far from the front!" ”
He spurred his horse with his legs between his legs, completely oblivious to the painful groans of the horses beneath him. It was only after urging the horse that he was embarrassed to find that even though he had worked hard to accelerate, he still fell behind.
"It is said that you are already the best war horse that can be found in the baggage camp except for the night jade lion of His Royal Highness King Qin......"
Wan Yulou patted the war horse's neck with disdain, and then said hatefully: "Can't you run faster?" ”
……
……
The dust and smoke from the horses swept far away along the north wind, and then slowly dissipated and returned to the ground again. Three hundred and one horses galloped forward with all their might, and in order to keep up with the speed of the large group of people and horses, the fat man Wan Yulou had to reluctantly cut off the two legs of mutton, as well as the horse lance, crossbow, hard bow, quiver, and the clothes were all discarded. I have to say that the war horse he rode was indeed good enough, and if he had changed to an ordinary war horse, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.
But even so, Wan Yulou still refused to take off the armor on his body. From a distance, it looked like a war horse was running with difficulty dragging a large bag of cotton. Of course, if it was really just a big bag of cotton on his back, then the eyes of this war horse would not be so resentful.
"Wait!"
Wan Yulou suddenly gestured for the cavalry to stop, and then jumped off his horse. With a pop, the hard frozen ground was almost smashed out of two pits by him. Suddenly he felt a loosen in his body, and the war horse let out a happy and cheerful neigh. Wan Yulou dragged his heavy steps and walked slowly within a radius of thirty meters, his brows furrowing more and more.
"What's wrong?"
Cavalry Captain Li Shun followed and asked.
Wan Yulou rubbed his nose and said innocently, "It's gone." ”
"What's missing?"
"The traces are gone, and the traces left by Mo Li after arriving here are gone, nothing, and all of a sudden they are all gone, as if he suddenly flew away. There was not a single trace of the earth, there were no men, no horses, and he seemed to ...... from here."
Wan Yulou stretched out his finger and drew a circle within a radius of thirty meters and sighed, "Suddenly disappeared." ”
"Suddenly gone?"
Li Shun's face changed, and the hand holding the horizontal knife couldn't help but tighten: "You mean, even you can't continue to look for it after you find here?" Why did people suddenly disappear, and how could war horses suddenly disappear? ”
"I was wrong!"
Wan Yulou slapped his forehead and sighed: "He didn't ride a horse at all!" The traces we are chasing are the ones he left behind when he let the war horse go! I'll just say how the imprint is so shallow! He looked at the messy marks around him, and his brow furrowed.
He hurried forward, and then saw the torn corpse of a war horse with only bones left behind the high slope not far away, and several wild wolves were frantically fighting for the last piece of the horse's leg with meat. When those wild wolves saw Wan Yulou appear, they immediately hunched over and erected their hair, baring their fangs and letting out a low, threatening roar.
"He must have fled in the direction of the Yellow River, and without a war horse, he can only choose to take the waterway!"
Wan Yulou didn't pay attention to the few wild wolves not far away at all, and ran back quickly. People said he couldn't show his back to the wolf, but he didn't care. Li Shun looked at the wild wolves that pounced on him and cursed, and then led someone to shoot over the wild wolves that were attracted by the fat Wanyulou with a repeater. Wan Yulou climbed on the horse's back and pointed to the northwest: "He will definitely go to the nearest ferry port to rent a boat and chase after him!" ”
Li Shun rode a horse to follow him and scolded: "Why are you not afraid of death this time?" Aren't you afraid that those wild wolves will tear you apart? ”
"I'm afraid of a fart!"
Wan Yulou smiled and said, "Are you willing to let me die before you find Mo Li?" ”
Li Shun was stunned, but he didn't know how to answer.
Wan Yulou glanced at him with disdain, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "Even if you find Mo Li, Lao Tzu will not die...... Whoever underestimates the fat man will be fucking unlucky. That day, in Chang'an, Lao Tzu saw that Mo Li's identity was problematic, and he tried to kill me three times, Lao Tzu was not alive and well? ”
It's as if he's cheering himself up.
